BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Jeremy Renner, To Play Hawkeye In Upcoming Marvel Films?


Jeremy Renner, To Play Hawkeye In Upcoming Marvel Films?

"The Hurt Locker" obviously did wonders for underrated actor Jeremy Renner's career. He was in discussions about taking some sort of role in George Miller's "Mad Max: Fury Road" (many speculated the lead role) and now the thesp says he's up for a reoccurring smaller role in Marvel films.

In the latest issue of Empire magazine (not online, but our U.K. writer Oliver Lyttelton transcribed for us), Renner says he and Marvel have been in discussions about playing the archer character Hawkeye that will make appearances in a least two upcoming Marvel pictures, including a cameo in "Thor" and then a role in "The Avengers" supergroup.

"Hawkeye could be interesting. They're going to send me some stuff on it, see what it is. But I think they're pretty awesome, trying to make superhero movies almost plausible and not just some fantasy thing."

Sounds like a cameo ala Samuel L. Jackson at the end of "Iron Man." Man, the way casting is going on "Thor" right now, we wonder if Jon Favreau is feeling envious and feels the need to add a little cameo or flavor to "Iron Man 2"? Renner's a good choice here and we're glad to seem him get noticed and score gigs. He's been great for years now. We couldn't really see him as traditional super hero, but Hawkeye's origins are rogue and maverick-like and he comic book lore he actually broke into the Avengers HQ to apply for membership. It could be a bit of a rehash of Renner's rebellious and off-book, 'Hurt Locker' character, but it could fit pretty well.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
